4 1st Order Spatial Point Patterns Analysis Methods
4.1 Overview
Spatial Point Pattern Analysis evaluates the distribution of points on a surface, such as locations of events (e.g., crime, traffic accidents, disease onset) or services (e.g., coffee shops, fast-food outlets) and facilities (e.g., childcare, eldercare).
This exercise uses functions from the spatstat package to explore the spatial point processes of childcare centres in Singapore, addressing the following questions:
Are childcare centres in Singapore randomly distributed? If not, where are the locations with higher concentrations of childcare centres?
4.2 The data
To provide answers to the questions above, three data sets will be used. They are:
CHILDCARE, a point feature data providing both location and attribute information of childcare centres. It was downloaded from Data.gov.sg and is in geojson format.
MP14_SUBZONE_WEB_PL, a polygon feature data providing information of URA 2014 Master Plan Planning Subzone boundary data. It is in ESRI shapefile format. This data set was also downloaded from Data.gov.sg.
CostalOutline, a polygon feature data showing the national boundary of Singapore. It is provided by SLA and is in ESRI shapefile format.
